A very warm welcome to Mod @Eabryt@lemmy.world !
EDIT: edited the sidebar to raise awareness on our WFC team: https://lemmy.world/c/arsenalwfc
We are popping off on signings on both teams; Russo, Ilestedt, Lacasse; Rice, Timber, Havertz
what the actual fuck is going on
oh i am definitely enjoying it, we haven't done this in forever. Plus teamnewsandtix said we're not even done yet iirc, we're fucking insane
@Astrealix I suppose once Xhaka goes they can focus on Tchouameni (sp?) and/or Lavia.
I hope we get some good money for our unwanteds and Balogun
I'll be happy if we get any money for Pepe ngl
Hoping Holding stays as a depth option / leadership
Lokonga probably needs another loan, hoping for the same for tavares but he might get sold; but there's a player in there for sure
Cedric is probably gone and probably should be at this point
Would love a more consistent option than Partey but fingers crossed with Rice and stuff he'll not be as inconsistent?
Nelson needs to stay
Balogun i think 40m would be a fair price but again would love if he stayed, same for Tierney
if arteta is anything like me on FM then the moment a player is past 25 they're getting sold 😤
@Astrealix I think Tierney, Lokonga, Pepe, Tavares and Cedric definitely need to go as they're not up to the level needed or Arteta players. Balogun is good (in France) but he may not be Premier League ready her, but his value may never be higher. Another Iwobi situation. Partey I would be glad to part with because of the cloud around him but we have to have someone nailed on to replace his quality.
Tierney's fine, but the rest I agree on. Tavares and Lokonga I think can become at the level we need though.
We have done well buying players, and now I'm waiting to see if we can replicate some of that magic when selling.
I am not a patient person and this off season feels like it is dragging on forever.
And a big thank you to everyone for all their hard work making this community what it is. 🥇
With Havertz, Rice, and Timber done, I'm focusing all of my remaining energy into manifesting Tchouameni and Mbappe transfers into existence.
Thank me later.
Don't want Mbappe tbh, wayyyyyyyy too expensive, even if he is one of the best players in his position. He'd want to play striker where he doesn't fit our style and isn't as good as he would be at LW where we are stacked beyond belief. If we want a marquee signing of a global superstar beyond just Declan Rice we should be signing like, Gavi or Musiala.
